Position the Device

Place the ventilator on a flat, level surface. Or, as an alternative, you
can place the device in the optional in-use bag. The in-use bag is
required for portable use in order to properly secure the ventilator.
Do not operate the ventilator while on its side, upside-down, or in
any other orientation. Make sure that the air inlet on the back of the
device is not blocked. If you block the air flow around the device, the
ventilator may not work properly. Do not operate the ventilator in the
carrying case provided with the device.

Install the Air Filter

The device uses a gray foam filter that is washable and reusable. The
reusable filter screens out normal household dust and pollens. The
filter must be in place at all times when the device is operating. Two
reusable gray foam filters are supplied with the device. If the filter is
not already installed when you receive the device, you must install
the filter before using the ventilator.
To install the filter, insert the gray foam filter into the filter area as
shown.

First Time Use

When setting up the device for the first time or after annual service,
apply AC power to the ventilator before turning on the blower.
Attempting to use the ventilator without first applying AC power,
such as installing a detachable battery pack and starting the blower,
will cause the internal battery to be displayed in red as an empty
battery. When in this state, the internal battery will not be usable
until AC power is applied.
